Adoption of Definition in Local Development Plan
The Local Development Plan 2030 adopts the same definition of affordable housing as used in the SPPS, which was updated by the Department for Communities in April 2021.
The Local Development Plan 2030 - Plan Strategy identifies at paragraph 7.24, that for the purposes of the Local Development Plan, the current definition of affordable housing, is the same as the definition used in the SPPS.
In April 2021, Department for Communities (DfC) adopted a new overarching definition for affordable housing, which aims to extend the range of products which contribute to the delivery of affordable housing. This definition is now adopted by the SPPS.
